Black Box 2ft Slim-Net CAT6 250MHz Snagless Ethernet Cable (Gray)

The Black Box C6PC28-GY-02 is a two-foot CAT6 patch cable that combines reliable network performance with a slim profile that frees up valuable space in crowded racks and cabinets. Built on 28-AWG conductors, the cable measures only 0.161 inches in diameter, so it fits easily through dense bundles and lets more air circulate around heat-sensitive equipment.

Despite its smaller size, the cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standard and supports Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 250 MHz. Each RJ-45 plug has 50-micron gold-plated contacts that maintain signal integrity and withstand repeated insertions without loss of conductivity.

Installation is straightforward because the snagless boot protects the release tab as you pull the cable through tight openings or remove it from crowded ports. The unshielded twisted pair design with a CM-rated PVC jacket is flexible yet durable, making it easy to route behind patch panels, desktop switches, or wall plates.

This two-foot length is ideal for short hops inside a rack, such as linking a top-of-rack switch to a patch panel or connecting adjacent devices on a workbench. The gray jacket offers a neutral color that blends neatly into most wiring schemes and can serve as a quick visual cue when you organize links by function or department.

Whether you manage a high-density data center, outfit a campus telecom room, or tidy up a home lab, this Slim-Net cable delivers the performance you expect from CAT6 gear while reducing clutter and improving airflow.
